What is FPGEC?

FPGEC stands for Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Commission. It is a program administered by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) in the United States. The FPGEC program evaluates the credentials of pharmacists who earned their degrees outside the U.S. to determine if they meet the educational requirements for U.S. licensure. Passing the FPGEC Certification is often a prerequisite for foreign-trained pharmacists to take the U.S. licensure examinations and work as pharmacists in the United States.
